Poor Lola had been exploited for eight years and lived in a tiny space. Her situation was absolutely heartbreaking.
When rescuers finally freed her from her prison, they were rather worried about how she would cope.
Years of neglect
The rescue team feared that spending eight years locked away would leave her scarred for life. But the little dog quickly proved them wrong. They discovered that Lola was naturally cheerful and sociable. Above all, she loved cuddles and was not afraid of people.
A few months later, Lola was adopted into her forever home. For a year now, she has brought daily joy to her new family. Recently, the clever pup became a true hero for her adoptive grandad.
Sounding the alarm
One day, Lola began behaving very unusually whenever she was near her grandad. She kept trying to lie on him and nudged him gently with her nose. Lola persisted again and again, as if she was desperately trying to get his attention.
Her grandad, who was already battling colon cancer, was not feeling very well at the time. He took Lola’s insistence as a warning sign and decided to go to A&E. Just a few hours later, doctors broke the news that he was suffering from kidney failure.
Without this prompt medical intervention, the consequences could have been far worse. The staff at the National Mill Dog Rescue shelter are incredibly proud of Lola’s bravery, and so are we. Well done, Lola – you are a true guardian angel!
